PIPE-DETECTA Tape

Self-adhesive metal detectable tape

• Aids location of plastic pipes within walls and behind plasterboard
• Complies with NHBC requirements
• Highly flexible, metallic self-adhesive tape made from aluminium
• Roll size: 48mm x 45M

NHBC regulations state:

• Where plastic pipework is in or behind wall surfaces, and would otherwise not be located by a metal detector or similar equipment, a metallic tape should be applied
• For best results, the metallic tape should be applied to the surface of the wall directly behind the pipe. Adhering the tape to the plastic pipe should be avoided unless the adhesive is approved by the pipe manufacturer
